For the life of me I will never understand why people will pay hundreds and thousands of dollars on a TV that provides the clearest, sharpest, most realistic picture possible and then, voluntarily, distort the image!

The difference between full power and low power is a channel allocation and licensing issue more than the actual ERP the transmitter puts out.

I knew there was a cutoff for low powered radio stations (250W), but I didnt know if there was a cutoff. Its also weird that some translator stations actually have lettered call signs (KLKS-LP for example, instead of K39GG, which runs at more power than KLKS)

Probably the reason it hasn't received must carry for Dish is because of "good quality signal" issues to the POP.

They went UPN on 9/1 under new owner Equity...probably the no good signal to the POP
